Coming out is still not an easy thing for many LGBTQ youth, but we think everyone should be comfortable, happy, and proud to be themselves! To address this issue, Seventeen partnered with the Trevor Project, an incredible organization that provides helpful services like a national crisis hotline and a online social network to LGBTQ youth across the country.

Each year, the organization hosts Trevor Live, a benefit musical variety show in Hollywood—shining stars Amy Poehler and Sarah Hyland even took part in the variety show. This year, the Trevor Project honored one of our very favorite celebs, Katy Perry. The pop star took home the Trevor Hero award for all of her support to the organization and LGBTQ youth.
